There are so many people I've met who go "oh my gosh, that's the word for the thing I've been feeling!" whether it's eco grief or eco-anxiety or solastalgia or the whole concept of disenfranchised grief.

Thanks for this. Having grown up in fla i forget that “hurricane season” (3 months were extreme weather is expected and prepares for) doesn’t and shouldn’t be a way of life in other parts of the country.
